Parts of Earth Assignment 1.) What is the main composition of the Earth's core? Nickel and Iron 2.) Which layer of the Earth is thinnest? The crust 3.) Which layer of the Earth is the source of all of the materials that we use? The Lithosphere. 4.) What is the theory that describes the changes of the earth's surface over time?plate tech 5.) Which layer of the Earth is described in question 4? Lithosphere. 6.)Which type of boundary marks the location where two plates move apart from one another? Divergent Boundry 7.)Give an example of a transform boundary. An example of a transform boundry is Pacific plate and North American in California. 8.) Define a subduction zone. "Oceanic crust tends to be denser and thinner than continental crust, so the denser oceanic crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental crust."(Web Definition.) Oceanic crust is thinner than Continental crust so the oceanic crust 9.) What causes sea floor spreading? Divergent Boundaries cause seafloor spreading. 10.) Describe the formation of a rift. A rift forms when 2 plates diverge.
What are Minerals?
1.) Identify the 5 essential characteristics of a mineral
It must occur naturally.
It must be inorganic
It must be a solid
It must possess an orderly internal structure, that is, its atoms must be arranged in a definite pattern.
It must have a definite chemical composition that may vary within specified limits."
2.) Identify three properties used to identify minerals.
Hardness
Optical Properties
Crystal Structure
3.) Identify three examples a mineral. Identify the composition of each mineral by the formula of the compound and name of a compound.
Flourite CaF2 Calcium and Fluorine. Calcium Fluorite.
Lead. Is most common in the ore sulfide galena PbS
Ruby. Made of the mineral corundum which is aluminum oxide Al2O3
Building Skills 4
What factors make it worthwhile for a mining company to mine in a specific location for a particular ore?
How much useful ore is at the site
Amount of metal in the ore
Type of mining needed to extract the metal from that ore
Distance of the mine from metal refining facilities and markets
Metals supply versus demand status.
List and describe the seven steps in the copper cycle. (They are not all listed word-for-word. You will have to use your own description in some instances.)
Copper is mined
Reduction
Copper Metal (molten)
Molding Casting
Used for electrical and non electrical uses
Scattered throughout the country or
Recycled Copper
Answer questions #1-3 on pp.115-116 (Building Skills 4)
Copper is an appropriate choice for these uses. Copper is a metal and is conductive and would work well with Electrical like motors and house wiring. It would also be good for nonelectrical like plumbing and coins etc.. Because it again is a metal and would work well for making coins and piped for plumbing.
a.) If recycling of scrap copper was increased the availibility of scrap copper would increase.
b.) Yes there is a limited role it can play because copper can only be used for certain things it will not be available to use for certain needs.
a.) Perhaps the use of digital currency
b.) Could lower the demand for copper by using silver as a conductor this will reduce demand for copper and silver is a better conductor c.) Silver is also another good use for this because it has higher conductivity and is ductile so would be a great replacement for copper to reduce the demand of copper. d.) This is the same thing as for the communications. House wiring uses a lot of copper wiring so instead of using so much copper wiring you could start to use other metals like silver or steel these are also 2 that are used often as wiring.
Lab Questions No data table -10
Changes that I noticed were chemical
What I noticed was the color of the copper changed. Color change is a sign of chemical reaction
The changes I observed was the copper changed color and it started to harden and stiffen which is why we had to stir it so often
Yes because it is still copper it is just not the original color
The mass of the crucible increased
It increases because it reacting with the oxygen in the air and producing copper oxide.
B.3 - Metal Reactivity Go to the W.H. Freeman ChemcCom Website. Follow the links Unit 2 > Section B > Copper Redox Reaction.
Answer the following questions about these six pages.
Describe what happens to the penny when it is placed in the sliver nitrate solution.
The penny turns dark and looks like crystals start to form and the some of the copper looks as if it starts to dissolve
Describe how ions in solution play a role in chemical reactivity
Ions play a role in chemical reactivity because they gain electrons causing the reaction
Explain, in detail, why this is happening,
At the surface silver ions gain one electron each to become silver atoms, now they are neutral so they stay on the surface. Now there is less electron cloud in the surface. A copper(II) ion Is pulled out by water molecules. One copper(II) ion leaves for every two silver atoms that are formed on the surface.
Define Oxidation.
The copper atom leaves its two electrons in the metal structure creating a copper(II) ion
Define Reduction.
It is reduction when a silver ion gains an electron from a copper atom
Explain what happens to the copper atoms during the redox reaction.
The copper atoms lose electrons
Explain what happens to the silver ions during the redox reaction.
Two silver ions will gain one electron each for every two electrons lost by a copper atom
What ultimately controls chemical reactivity?The collision of two compounds in a certain orientation.
